JuHicia hivalvis, Eoxb. Tl. Iiid. i. 124, came from the Moluccas, and was 

 probably a Dicliptera ; though Roxburgh quotes his species as the same as Linnseus' 

 under that name, he excludes (correctly) the plate on which Linnseus founded his 

 species. 



Gendarussa virgata, Wall. Cat. 7176, was collected in Ava, outside the bounds of 

 British India. 



Justicia ineonspieua. Wall. Cat. 2475, collected in Penang, is not iu Wallioh's 

 Herbarium at the Linn. Soc, nor are there any 4ata for determining its genus. 



Sect. 1. Hemlchoriste. Shrubby. Spikes elongate ; flowers clus- 

 tered; bracts berbaceous, subovate. Corolla, and capsule large. 



1. J. montana,, Wall. Cat. 2471, not of Roach. ; leaves large elliptic 

 acute at both ends glabrous, spikes near the ends of the branches subpaui-

 ■Nilgherries ( Wight) . 



Stem erect, subtetragonons, puberulous upwards. Leaves 9 by 3J In., both sur- 

 faces punctulate ; petiole 1 in. Spilces 6-15 in., the terminal often paniculately 

 branched; lower clusters of flowers usually distant, upper continuous; bracts i by 

 J in., lower larger ; bracteoles smaller, elliptic, near the base of the pedicel ; pedicels 

 0-\ in. Sepals 5, i in., sublineai', pubescent. Corolla 1-1| in., 2-lipped half its 

 length, minutely pubescent, red. Stamens 2 (without any rudiments) ; lower anther-

 glabrous, intensely rugose, but possibly smooth when fully ripe. — Nees says " stamens 

 4, 2 shorter with 1-celled anthers or rudimentary ;" but there is no trace of these 

 shorter stamens in the example named by Nees' hand.
